Desperate for someone with firepower to challenge Trump in 2020, Democrats and their media allies have now seized on TV personality Oprah Winfrey following her impassioned speech against sexual harassment at last weekend’s Golden Globes ceremony. Oprah edges the president in a hypothetical election matchup.

Highlighting the usual disconnect between those inside the Beltway and those out in the real America, Washington is buzzing about the new anti-Trump book, Fire and Fury, but just 16% of voters say they are Very Likely to read it. Only 36% think it’s an accurate portrayal of the Trump White House.

Voters last fall were evenly divided over whether Trump was a bigger danger to the United States than North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, whom the U.S. president had just nicknamed “Rocket Man” in a speech to the United Nations. Prior to that speech, Kim had been ratcheting up his threats to launch a nuclear-armed missile at the United States for months, but the recent peaceful overtures by North Korea suggest that Trump has backed him down.
